"This fandom has a nazi problem"

And a fandom that has been fighting Nazis the whole time is suddenly on blast for being all Nazis.

So the non-nazis leave, new nazis join.

and the Nazi's take it. Congrats. Ceded ground.

They have to KNOW this too right?

They see something they don't like, or want to take, so they, the Nazis, start stories about "I hear nazis like that thing."

Doesn't matter what reality is. Any large group of people is going to have a nazi in it statistically, and MOST people in groups fight em.

The "One Nazi at the table" metaphor got uno-reversed into "Let's give the Nazis all our tables."

Instead of fighting that Nazis at the table, we are leaving the tables for them to take.

"Oh, I can't like that thing, I heard Nazis also like it." Well way to cede ground to the Nazis, Chamberlain.

They were both my top picks...

Then I saw how cute there were together...

and I had to let em go so they could get married.

My byleth was single that first ending.

INDIGNANT WHINNY

INDIGNANT WHINNY (slightly worse art)

I have redrawn the INDIGNANT WHINNY panel, because I have continued to evolve as an artist.

2026 vs. I dunno, 2019?

Again. What I said: Not rejecting it.

You put that there.

You put my statement of: "Factually, there were abolitionists in the founding and territories that rejected slavery"

as equal to "rejecting" America's slave history.

What does that prove?

The french revolution lead to a leadership that reinstated slavery in it's colonies.

Napoleon's expansionist efforts lead to atrocities and genocides.

Yet we celebrate as a massive progressive event.

But America's revoluion is always "founded on slavery" despite abolitionist in it's founding.

Why is it rejecting history?

No one said anything about rejecting history.

Why is it so important to market you cause on "THAT specific fact."

Because I would argue: "American History is one that strives to be better."

And people reject admitting. Despite every civil rights victory.

Simulation Games never play by normal game industry pricing rules, I'll argue.

They are "niche markets for the obsessed" by design.

When a plane simulator has $600 of DLC, that's because 1) it's an expensive thing to make a simulated plane interior and 2) Plane nerds spend $300+ on flight sticks.

Oh my god I just learned this Thomas game is being made by the same devs.

So imagine they picked a DEVIL to make this Thomas game...

but also they are most COMPETANT Devil in the Train Game business.

But still a DEVIL.

Oh this game is going to cost $400 to have all content before long.

Oh honey...

You have no idea what punishment Train Fans are willing to take.

They are into it.

When the time comes, those payroll records are gonna be super helpful for hunting down all these human hunters

YouTube video by Gangstagrass This bullshit has been going on for generations. A 1996 Simpsons episode tried to teach us.

This is crazy:

You're right, but one of my favorite "new terms" for this phenomena is the "Goomba Fallacy".

I'm sure it has a more academic term, but I'm always pro "change the name if it makes knowledge and critical thinking more accessible."

"Oh options always good!" is a fallacy I can never agree with.

Yes, options ARE good, but they need to be motivated with designed intent.

It's like going to that hole in the wall burger place that serves ONE burger and nothing else and it's amazing...

Or a Golden Corral.

ONE has "more options"

I have opinions "Fuck it, design Sonic's movement yourself. We don't wanna".

I love sandbox games, but I want to push against "solid" design systems that feel purposeful and have a rock solid skeleton.

Frontiers went "screw it, you can't say level design bad if the movement isn't even designed."

Supply Stock is a funny thing.

Artificial Scarcity *does* work as a marketing tool, but it's really hard to "prove" or "make happen."

I'll tell you exactly what happened Arlo:

Supply was so good, parents could afford to "wait" til the last minute to get a Switch 2.

No battles for stock or scalpers picking things clean.

This time? It's Christmas Eve, and Dads at Walmart went "AHHH WHAT VIDJA GAMES DO KIDS WANT THESE DAYS?!"

Are you sure YOU are not an Gen AI bot?

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

Dear god I'm with you but dropping this take HERE is a sign you are getting PARANOID.

It's an 8 pixel texture. It would be more work to use AI.

2019 is the apt choice because the Pandemic really did cook everyone's brain for just enjoying a collective interesting thing.

Since then it's like goddamn turf wars over interesting things: "Well since THAT guy likes it, I'm have to hate it, and since I like this thing, that guy has to hate it."

CIA agents in 1964: Castro's in for the surprise of his life when he tries to sign something with my POISON PEN! CIA agents in 2024: "@libcrusher The phrase 'working class' is ableist and promotes eugenics because it positions disabled people and workers as enemies."

I'll get meaner. people buy the PS5 because it's the best Blu-ray player on the Market.

Why wouldn't you get a Blu-Ray player that can also play COD and Fifa and netflix?

Pictured here: The Killer-App that gets most humans to buy the PS5

Won't even be a 5th as bad as the WiiU.

And the Switch 2 has "killer apps."

I would just argue that Killer aps don't work like they used to, especially in this climate.

Like does the PS5 have a Killer App or is it just the best COD/Fifa box that's a Blu-Ray player?

That's the video that got me in.

The only thing I think your nuts on is Gen 10 as a Switch 2 ground up exclusive.

TPC is going to maximize install base numbers are LONG as possible like they have for every other piece of Nintendo Hardware.

Will it be a better game? Yeah. They've been selling us Tech Demos since Sword Shield.

I bought a standing desk a about a year ago.

Realized I have to do all sorts of cable management to make it work. Eh, I'll sit.

Last week I did all the work to bolt my massive PC tower to the underside of the table. Finally no more excuses.

...naw I'll sit.

How do we tell Arlo that his Splatoon Raiders idea is just Fortnite before it become Fortnite Battleroyale?

Seriously though that's a good idea. I also can see "Splatoon Rust" or "Splatoon (Arc) Raiders."

If you don't know, Arc Raiders has a lot of mechanics that would function in singleplayer.

A photo of Trump grinning next to Vladimir Putin hanging in the Palm Room of the White House. Incredible. Because nothing screams ‘strong leadership’ like proudly displaying a portrait with a foreign autocrat in one of the most symbolic rooms in the building. This is not ok.
